Toccare Fire Panel & Euro-fi Wireless supplied, programmed, and tested for New Terra Compliance for residential apartment fire systems in East Anglia, London.

The Approach

New Terra Compliance is a fire alarm installation and maintenance company covering East Anglia, London, and the southeast regions. Specializing in compliance, New Terra was recently commissioned to install a new Grade A fire alarm system using the Toccare intelligent fire panel and Euro-fi wireless for a private residential landlord in South East London.

Dan Jackson, Managing Director at New Terra, says, “Our client had recently had a fire risk assessment completed which showed several fire risks within the apartment block. A Grade A fire alarm system was required to cover all communal areas, along with additional heat sounders within each apartment entrance to enable a simultaneous evacuation should a fire occur.”

The Toccare intelligent touchscreen fire alarm panel was selected due to its clean, minimalist look and ease of use. The Toccare range is designed with the end-user in mind.

The adaptive appearance and customizable LED backlights enable the panel to integrate smoothly and unobtrusively into any interior décor. The auto-addressable panel is also easy to install for engineers, requiring as little as four simple touches to set up.

Wireless & Robust fire safety system

Optical smoke detectors, heat detectors, and manual call points were integrated wirelessly with the Toccare panel to form a complete, robust fire safety system.

Wireless detection enabled a faster installation time, reducing disruption to residents. It also reduced unnecessary breaches of existing fire barriers by minimizing hard wiring requirements.

Easy To Navigate And Commission

Michelle Agius, Managing Director of Eurotech, says, “We’re delighted New Terra chose our new Toccare panel for his client and look forward to assisting Dan and his team with future fire alarm system installations.”

The Toccare panel is visually pleasing compared to other panels and suited the premises where it was required

Dan concludes, “We chose Eurotech as our supplier as their service is always outstanding. They really care about making sure our client’s system is the right one for them and is compliant with fire safety law.”

“We chose the Toccare panel for our client as it's visually pleasing compared to other panels on the market and suited the premises where it was required. My client was very impressed with the look of the panel and how simple it was to use. From an engineering perspective, it is really easy to navigate and commission and has plenty of room for neat wiring. I’ll definitely be recommending the Toccare range for my future installations.”
